[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am looking at private schools for my older child and I feel like most of the time choosing private decreases the quality and level of math or science DC could be taking?  Why is this the case for private schools.  I know there are some exceptions but it seems like privates do better as a rule with writing, sometimes foreign language at younger ages, and critical thinking. It seems like strong math and science are things parents want so why are schools not providing it?

I will also say this is a long term issue, I left a big 3 for a public as a kid in part because the math and science at the public were so much better.  I am totally happy about that in retrospect although I missed having the strong writing focus private gave. [/quote]

Because private is all about "deep learning" and not simply about learning how to solve problems or scoring high on standarized tests. If you keep repeating this to yourself, you may actually become a believer. [/quote]
